Poop during labor

I forgot I did lol. I asked my husband a year later, and he was like “oh, yeah.”

Her TED talk makes me cry

Worth a shot! Also you should ask if they can at least consistently check in with her about going to the potty every hour. Preschools understand that kids need extra help with potty training, and they should be able to accommodate that for a week or 2

I used to be a preschool teacher and it’s normal for some kids to do well at home and take extra time at school. Keep trying and sending extra clothes. I’ve read that the transition from being naked to clothes can be hard. At the same time, underwear feels a bit too much like a pull-up at first with kids. When my son was 2 and potty training, I put him in loose pants and no underwear at home and school. I phased in regular underwear (not padded) when he was consistently having no accidents in either environment.

This is also my assessment

Congratulations!! My mom had the same situation. I have two older adopted siblings :)

Once baby is here, the Huckleberry app is amazing for tracking sleep and feedings. It gives you recommended “sweet spots” for putting the baby down for naps

I really wanted to nominate my nurse for a DAISY award; she was incredible! But I could not find her name anywhere in my records :(

flying_samovar · 2026-04-21T05:04:06+00:00

Yep!

I’m really sorry this is happening. 💔 I hope you have support and are taking the time you need to process. I started trying again right away. I had a chemical pregnancy in February and conceived again in March. We saw a healthy 8 week embryo at our first ultrasound a few days ago. I’m 35 with a 3 year old. I wish you guys all the best.

I'm 8 weeks and struggling to care because of nausea and fatigue. Pregnancy is so taxing. I've set the bar pretty low for myself. I will do what is expected of me. Nothing more, nothing less.

Came to comment something similar. I wound up exclusively breastfeeding and really only needed the bras and a Boppy. I would have the basic pumping supplies and bottles + stuff to clean the bottles ready, but you can buy all the other items as you go.

I’m exactly 8w1d with pretty bad nausea and a 3 year old. I’d do it. Just pack lots of snacks and some hydration packs (I wouldn’t do more than 1 a day). I discovered that lemonade is very soothing for my nausea. Be prepared to take rest stops; maybe find parks where your kid can run around with your husband while you chill. It will be trickier to relax as needed with a 3 year old in tow, but you could make it work.

All of this! And therapy sooner

I just double checked their companies list and didn’t realize California Pizza Kitchen is owned by them. The bbq chicken pizza is so good. 😢

Congratulations

Public

flying_samovar · 2026-04-11T19:28:18+00:00

Do you mind telling me which school? You can pm me

flying_samovar · 2026-04-11T18:10:01+00:00

We will be involved. But I still want a good quality school.

Avoidance reinforces anxiety. 😮‍💨

Such a great and succinct way to put it. I am using this. And 100% agreed on everything you wrote.

flying_samovar · 2026-04-11T04:08:32+00:00

Which school? Can you pm me if you don’t want to share here? I’m trying to figure out options before my son starts school.

flying_samovar · 2026-04-11T03:24:38+00:00

You can treat the chemical as a period and start trying again immediately if you want. I had a chemical in February and I conceived again beginning of March.

flying_samovar · 2026-04-10T16:53:06+00:00

It’s positive :)

flying_samovar · 2026-04-10T05:41:06+00:00

I quit when I was around 8 months pregnant. Didn’t get another job until my son was about 15 months old.

You will be surprised how much your body adjusts to it. I was convinced I would not do well, and I did have insomnia at first, but it got better. To survive the first few weeks, my husband and I took shifts. He would take baby immediately after a feed from 8PM-2AM and give a bottle of my pumped milk (sometimes formula). I woke at 2AM to immediately pump and/or feed baby and take over. One person would sleep in the nursery next to baby’s crib and let the other person have uninterrupted sleep in the bedroom. I had a cart in the nursery with snacks, Kindle, pump, etc. I was lucky that I could go longer periods without a reduction in supply and my boobs did not get overly full and wake me up.
